American Hustle was hilarious. All the acting was great but I particularly enjoyed Jennifer Lawrence, and DeNiro too. That's all I've seen of the new films. Eager to see the Coen Bros film, even if it has been snubbed by all the award ceremonies, and The Wolves of Wall Street, even though I gave up that lifestyle years ago and am hesitant to revisit it. I know I have to see Twelve Years a Slave - I predict it will win best film at AA in March - but I know it will be an ordeal.

I saw The Wolf of Wall St. this past weekend and I think everyone here, and everyone in The Kitchen, needs to see this movie. I realize that The Kitchen was devised partially to help its participants and members avoid boiler-room stocks, and no-one here is the kind of sucker that bought stocks from disreputable cold-call brokers, but I'd venture a few purely bullshit stocks slipped their way through the kitchen doors. The movie speaks frankly about who was playing these stocks and I have to confess that I found myself blushing a couple of times. So, even though we know how boiler rooms operate, it was still kind of educational, yet entertaining too, if you like movies about hookers and cocaine and cash.
